RE: Wikipedia article on rdiff-backup

[Adrian A. Baumann]

Hi David, hi List,

One thing I've noticed (and will change on the article later, I'm at
work...) is the statement, that a simple cp or rsync command is
sufficient to restore data. That is only the case if rdiff-backup is run
as root on the machine where the backup is stored... otherwise, the
files are there, but the owners, groups and permissions are different
from the original file system and stored in a file whose name I can't
remember off hand.

Cheers,

Adrian
